Ride Extras

Ever been in that spot where all you crave after a long day is a cool, quiet ride back home? I have, many times. Post-class or gym, I’d book the so-called ‘comfort’ rides on apps like Bolt or inDriver, only to meet drivers who were reluctant to turn on the AC. And on days when I wanted nothing but silence, I still had to deal with chatty drivers. Frustrating, right?

Well, I decided to channel that frustration into creation. I’ve designed a solution that lets us set our ride preferences beforehand. Imagine ticking boxes for 'Active AC' or 'Quiet Ride' and actually getting just that. Drivers opt-in for these extras too, and if they don't deliver, there's a system to report that. It's all about fostering a ride-hauling culture that truly respects our choices.
